Stayed at Charin’s house for three nights and it was a great experience. The house was cozy and neat, clean and has air conditioning on each floor. The host was great, very friendly and kind, told us what we can find around and was open to questions about sightseeing.
You can get to the city center by ferry or bus or taxi, takes not more than 30 min. Some nice Chinese Places around. Definitely one of the best options to stay in Bangkok.
